NEW HOPE, Pa., July 6, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When Renata reaches ten, her grandmother Valerie introduces her to the family's secret wonder world. Through Valerie and Renata's mother Linda, the young girl learns the truth about her identity -- a messenger of God -- and takes on a challenging responsibility. Follow the exciting events of She Had to Plan, an enchanting family novel penned by Camelia Rose.
Valerie Wynnewood, the matriarch of an old east coast family, only wants what is best for those she loves. She would have to prime her granddaughter Renata so she would be in ecstasy, like a nun having a vision of Jesus, when she touched the crystal ball. "To become a blessed Star of God takes time," she told her. "But you're a fast learner..."
Valerie does what it takes to ensure the family's success, manipulating the actions of others, and twisting the truth to suit her purpose. But what will she do when her plans and schemes start to backfire, costing her the trust and affection of her own grandchild? Will she win her back?
Find out more about Valerie's experiences as you leaf through the pages of She Had to Plan, a lesson-filled tale that demonstrates the significance of trust and love in a family. For more information, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
